Secondary : Indian Culture & Heritage (223)

India is one of the ancient civilizations of the world which has stood the test of time. In fact, what makes Indian culture unique among other ancient civilizations is its ability to accommodate and assimilate external influences and weave them into its own cultural fabric. This composite influence has not only enriched the cultural milieu of India, it has also made it stronger. Indian art, architecture, music, language, philosophy and religion reflect this diversity of influence that has occurred through centuries. This is the beauty of Indian Culture and Heritage. As Indian citizens not only do we need to be proud of this pluralistic & rich cultural heritage but also to study it objectively and assess it critically.
